However, this does not work against schemes using mutual authentication because timestamps are a verification factor that are used in the protocols. Replay attack A replay attack is similar to a MITM attack in which older messages are replayed out of context to fool the server. Mutual authentication can prevent MITM attacks because both the sender and recipient verify each other before sending them their message keys, so if one of the parties is not verified to be who they claim they are, the session will end. The two parties openly receive messages without verifying the sender, so they do not realize an adversary has inserted themselves into the communication line. Man-in-the-middle attack Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks are when a third party wishes to eavesdrop or intercept a message, and sometimes alter the intended message for the recipient. Mutual authentication supports zero trust networking because it can protect communications against adversarial attacks, notably: BAN logic first assumes an entity is not to be trusted, and then will verify its legality. To verify that mutual authentication has occurred successfully, Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic (BAN logic) is a well regarded and widely accepted method to use, because it verifies that a message came from a trustworthy entity. Lastly, Alice and Bob will create a shared secret key so that they can continue communicating in a secure manner. At this point, both parties are verified to be who they claim to be and safe for the other to communicate with.Alice checks if the message matches a valid user.Then, the message is decrypted with Alice's secret key, giving Bob's ID.If either is incorrect or invalid, the session is aborted. Alice checks the format and timestamp.Bob sends Alice a message back to show that Bob is a valid user.Bob checks if the message matches a valid user.The message is then decrypted with Bob's secret key, giving Alice's ID.Alice sends an encrypted message to Bob to show that Alice is a valid user.A mutual authentication process that exchanges user IDs may be implemented as follows: If Alice wants to communicate with Bob, they will both authenticate the other and verify that it is who they are expecting to communicate with before any data or messages are transmitted. Schemes that have a mutual authentication step may use different methods of encryption, communication, and verification, but they all share one thing in common: each entity involved in the communication is verified. 6 Certificate based schemes and system applications.In scheme analyses done of past works, a lack of mutual authentication had been considered a weakness in data transmission schemes. Mutual authentication is a crucial security step that can defend against many adversarial attacks, which otherwise can have large consequences if IoT systems (such as e-Healthcare servers) are hacked. Writing effective security schemes in IoT systems can become challenging, especially when schemes are desired to be lightweight and have low computational costs. Mutual authentication is often employed in the Internet of Things (IoT). Mutual authentication can be accomplished with two types of credentials: usernames and passwords, and public key certificates. Mutual authentication is a desired characteristic in verification schemes that transmit sensitive data, in order to ensure data security. It is a default mode of authentication in some protocols ( IKE, SSH) and optional in others ( TLS). Mutual authentication or two-way authentication (not to be confused with two-factor authentication) refers to two parties authenticating each other at the same time in an authentication protocol. Two parties authenticating each other at the same time
